“Great B&B in a Great Neighborhood”
We had a great stay at the Wicker Park Inn! Our room, the Chicago room, was spacious and clean and nicely decorated. The staff was incredible- always friendly, gave us suggestions about the city and the sights to see, very helpful. The inn served a continental breakfast every morning- fruit, pastries, cereal- simple, but delicious. There were other couples/families staying there, and we ate with them at the main table 3 out of 5 mornings. That's a B&B- a community atmosphere, whether you like it or not :)
We loved staying in the Wicker Park neighborhood- lots of great restaurants, stores, art studios. There's always something to do. We had a chance to go to the farmer's market and watch a pick up softball game in Wicker Park, which was fun.
The inn was a convenient walking distance to the EL, either to Damen or Division street. The Blue Line did run directly behind our room, 24 hours a day, just feet away from our balcony, which was the only slightly negative thing about our stay. However, we were so tired from Lollapalooza and walking around town that I barely heard it all night. Light sleepers might have a problem, but there are rooms that are on the street side of the building, which may be less noisy.
All in all, it was a great trip to Chicago, and we loved the Wicker Park Inn!
